Hi,
1. I am for a Type as a rtType parameter. It may be a parameterized type
itself, you can get raw class from it, but you can't get type params if
a static class will be passed.
2. User will know if current event is start object or start array. But
we can add it for convenience.
3. Did you mean methods, which are in (De)Serialization contexts? <T>
void serialize(String key, T object); and <T> T
deserialize(Class<T>/Type clazz);?
4. Actually if type is supported or not will not change during runtime.
User should know from the spec / vendor doc if conversion for a given
type is supported. We can throw exception if it is not supported or
return result as Optional.
